“ What a view ”

This is a great hotel when visiting the falls. The rooms are comfortable, although the beds are a little hard; the pool is lovely, views over the river and paraguay beyond and Brazil to the left, perfect for sitting with a cocktail and watching the sunset. The hotels location is great only a short walk into town, where there are some good restaurants. The food in the hotel was disappointing for the price. Also the wifi didnt work very often.

We were then driven out to the falls on the Brazilian side. We had been told that you get two very different perspectives from the two sides. The distance from the actual cascades in Brazil allows a more distant view, but a perspective of just how massive the whole area is. As we walked ...

... and took the bus up to the middle of the park, where the walkways begin. After walking for less than a minute we had our first view of the waterfalls - fantastic! However, knowing that more and better was to come and in order to beat the crowd that had come on the same bus, we didn't stop for long. The walkways take you right up from the bottom of the falls to the lower part of the Devil's throat and then up above the falls along the river. We walked along, ...

... is so brown, if it was nice and blue these falls would be beautiful! (Still can't beat a pure, crystal clear New Zealand waterfall ). Treated ourselves to three massive pizzas for dinner, then had an early night 29th July Early wake up, today the boys split once again.
